My problems with gub is mostly related to evince. If I use an older version of
evince then there are a bunch of extra dependencies that I need to add. I began
adding them but eventually I found a few that required the perl module
XML::Simple. I tried installing this module but it conflicted with XML::Parser. 
I
read somewhere that XML::Parser is a dependency of XML::Simple. It seems though
they are both trying to install the same file at the same place though. If I use
the same version of evince that the windows build is using, this would require
glib to be upgraded. Glib upgraded fine for the windows build but fails on the
Linux build. It complains about a compiler error and that pretty much all it
says. I could try upgrading the compiler to see if this fixes it.

I instead created a fork of the gub git tree:
git://github.com/jjbenham/gub.git

I also modified the old macports file. This the compiled without problem but I
have not tested the binary that was created from this. I am not sure where to
post this yet. I don't know if its being maintained becuase the original 
macports
file was set to denemo version 0.8.10.

I bet it is more like a couple of tweaks. I will soon email the gub list about 
my
troubles.
